Titanfall 2 review

Third uncomfortable in a confrontation that for years has opposed the franchises of Call of Duty and Battlefield, after the debut multiplayer-only intellectual property of the former Infinity Ward takes an important step, introducing a single player campaign that aims to make it more complete the exciting mech shooter experience.

Of course, timing is not the best and Electronic Arts could have thought of a different launch window for  titanfall 2 pc,not surprisingly the first sales figures in the UK are disheartening ; and unjust, in our opinion, given the quality of the package, which after the convincing test on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One we are reviewing in the PC version.

The technically most relevant one,capable of even aiming at 4K and 60 frames per second where there is a very high-end components, but in any case, a forerunner of respectable performance even on less expensive configurations.

Titanfall 2 is a great value shooter, with an amazing campaign and a solid multiplayer

THE STRANGE COUPLE

Protagonist of the story mode of  titanfall 2 ps4 is the Jack Cooper rifleman, who in the early stages of the adventure we are busy training with a simulation to become a Pilot, a member of the militia elite, warriors able to fight in any situation thanks a state-of-the-art equipment and the ability to interface with the Titan, six meters tall robots with devastating war potential.

That day will come soon, promises the captain Lastimosa, his mentor. But the situation quickly plummets, Lastimosa dies in battle and orders his Titan, BT-7274, to welcome Cooper as a new Pilot. Wisely gradual in its mechanics, the campaign developed by Respawn Entertainment is a bit short, since it is completed within five hours, but manages to be intense, spectacular and unexpectedly original in some of its solutions.

Forget the sequences in which we are accompanied by a superior by hand, moving from one gunfight to another, which sadly characterize many of the last episodes of Call of Duty and Battlefield: in Titanfall 2 we will be alone with our mech, busy exploring hostile environments in search of devices and switches, as well as determined to save the skin and face the threat posed by a super weapon that, in the hands of the enemy, could forever change the fate of the war.

In the narrative compartment there are many references to the film “Navigator” (but also “Guardians of the Galaxy”, “Star Wars: The Force Awakening” and “Big Hero 6”) for what is the relationship between Jack and BT-7274

The story is very well told, also thanks to high quality Italian dubbing and film music, but it is the gameplay to amaze: the ability of pilots to run on the walls is used at some point for the resolution of environmental puzzles, as well as the use of a particular device that brings to mind situations seen in Super Mario Galaxy and Portal.

So you’re never bored, the “bad guys” are convincing and the only negative note of the single player sector, in addition to the aforementioned brevity, lies in the bosses: the “special” Titans have a beautiful design and peculiar abilities, but often clash is resolved within a short time and leaves a bitter taste.
